Police later searched Azrak's vehicle and seized a quantity of the prescription drug oxycodone.

Prosecutors are recommending a term of one and one-half years behind bars when Azrak returns to state Supreme Court, St. George, for sentencing Feb. 17 in front of Justice Robert J. Collini.

Azrak, a former Brooklyn police officer, reportedly got into a skirmish with a bouncer at Curves in the 2900 block of Arthur Kill Road when he took his frustrations out on a car in the parking lot.

He was initially charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the third and fourth degrees, third-degree criminal mischief, second-degree menacing, and attempted assault in the third.

Azrak was sentenced to five years probation after spending six months in Rikers Island from January to June last year for menacing and criminal contempt after he barricade himself at his wife's home in June 2006.

Azrak's wife, Mildred, was arrested in April 2006 after she pistol-whipped her estranged husband, breaking three bones in his face and fracturing his eye socket, in front of several witnesses at his Brooklyn home.

Ten days later, Mrs. Azrak was again arrested on charges of forging her husband's signature to cash checks out of his personal account and pulling a gun in the parking lot of a Huguenot bank on a witness to the Brooklyn incident.Azrak then drove to his wife's Commodore Drive townhouse, but Mrs. Azrak's friend notified police that he was on his way.

When police arrived, Azrak barricaded himself inside, grabbed his wife by the arm and shouted at her to not open the door while he kicked her leg, according to court papers.

A hostage negotiation team and armored, rifle-wielding cops surrounded the home. Azrak wound up arrested and charged with menacing and first-degree criminal contempt.

He was sent to Rikers in January 2007, and spent six months behind bars - the last four in a jailhouse infirmary for undisclosed reasons, according to law enforcement sources.
